Dear Mr Pandoo,

I am doing some research about the IXP in Mauritius. I tried to
access http://www.mixp.org and I got a "connection has timed out"
error. The following is the traceroute output to 196.49.9.20:

  1 197.226.48.1 1.319 ms 1.510 ms 1.124 ms

  6 41.189.225.165 298.481 ms 298.646 ms 299.609 ms
  7 * 212.73.206.213 296.495 ms !N 212.73.240.217 296.281 ms !N

It is odd that traffic from a network in Mauritius to MIXP is going
through Djibouti.

I read a news article about the Bharat Telecom network being offline
since this morning [1]. It looks like that the MIXP is affected
because of that incident. Was there any study to assess whether the
Internet Exchange Point has been set up in a reliable manner?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
